The chain links ( ) also have several cutting teeth ( ) lying one behind the other in their direction of movement ( ), which project radially on the cutting chain ( ) and have cutting edges ( ), which run transverse to the plane of movement of the chain links ( ), wherein the perpendicular projections of the cutting edges ( ) are arranged in the plane of movement at least partially along a line curved radially to the outside. The cutting chain ( ) of the cutting device has the type of chain links ( ) described above.
